The Rant: I wouldn't want a diva like Urban Meyer anywhere near my football program

Less than a year after retiring from Florida to spend more time with his family, there are numerous reports that Urban Meyer has agreed in principle to take over at Ohio State in 2012. On Saturday, Meyer, now an ESPN analyst, said that wasn’t true. I laughed; when has honesty ever gotten in Meyer’s way? He’s a flake, a 47-year-old diva.

Meyer is concerned more about keeping his winning percentage sky high and that’s it. When he saw trouble coming at Florida, Meyer was on the first private jet out of Gainesville, pretending that he was doing it all for his family. And now, less than a year after Meyer made his cowardly exit after vowing to fix the Gators, he’s apparently gotten his fix of his family and he’s ready to go again. Good lucks, Urbs. You’ll do fine in the Big Ten. And if not, just use your family again to stage an exit.
